Discussion of Phylogenetic Relationships

The traditional genus Mecocerculus is polyphyletic. M. leucophrys, the type species, is apparently the only one that really belongs in the genus. The remaining species may form a clade, which currently has no name, but may be found here.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
